Everybody agrees with that? Always?

Not always necessary on Backstroke . . . many elite players Double-Cock. But from Impact to Separation, the LEVEL BENT Right Wrist is non-negotiable. Reference pic posted by Brian. Look at the Hogan thread. Pics of Trevino. Look at the pics of Tiger in the one-plane 2-plane thread.

David still doesn't get #4. He doesn't think the left arm blasts off the chest.

This is why I'm anxious to see his video which will, no doubt, show what I suspect - that he will be the perfect poster boy for John Jacob's #4 throwaway.

The planes of the two wedges or triangles in Brian's pics are 90 degrees to each other.

That's the essense of the Flying Wedges.

Ben Hogan and Moe Norman both talked about expressly used #7 and they didn't have throwaway. But that is another topic.

MJ, does #4 blast the left arm off the chest in all valid swings? Such as a chipping or pitching swing?
Not to forget a putting "swing"?

The answer, clearly is "no"...N-O!

Hi David,

Good to talk with you again. Glad you had a safe trip to and from 'Down Under'.

You are correct: the Left Arm 'blast off' pertains only to Pivot Strokes, particularly those with the Maximum Power application (6-B-4-A).

With the Short Strokes, there is minimal, if any, Pivot participation, i.e., there is little Right Shoulder Turn Thrust against the Pressure Point of the Left Arm and Chest (where the upper Left Arm contacts the chest). In those Strokes, there is not enough 'uummph' to suggest a 'blast off'.

Maybe just a 'send off'! :)

In fact, as you have suggested with Putting, there usually is Zero Pivot. Here, the Centrifugal Power of the Stroke is supplied merely by the Left Arm (only) Pull Minor Basic Stroke (10-3-D).

Hi Lynn, yes. I'm assuming you are not in disagreement with a push putting stroke (right arm as being valid). I invented the belly putting stroke about 15 yrs. ago, but never made a dime off it. It has more of an arc than semi- pendulum strokes. A guy in New Zealand told me it was actually invented in NZ around 60 yrs. ago.

I'm getting ready to blast off again to NZ and Tasmania next month. This time I'm taking my clubs.

Pluthb, my #5 and #6 are explained and debated in the More than 4 accumulator's thread. Re: #7, I'll just keep quiet about, it's too much hassle to go thru this again. I'm trying to put up a little video I shot explaining #5 and #6. Watch for it in the next few days. I think everyone will see the flying wedges do NOT go all to hell, as assumed.

The Push Basic Stroke (10-3-C) was the selected Major Stroke Variation in the 3rd Editions's 'Arm Only' Putting Sample Stroke Pattern.

Once set, should the wedges always maintain their 90 degree relationship?

Its automatic- don’t even think about the relationship as “having” to be 90*- it just is when the left wrist only moves vertical, UP and DOWN, like a hammer blow (unc0cks) and the right wrist bent in a horizontal plane with the right arm driving behind the shaft.

And they do fly when acc#2 and #3 releases and rolls.

Until Brian posts some pics.

The Flying wedges are formed by the way the hands hold the club- two hands, two wedges that work together.
The bent right wrist is the horizontal plane and the cocked left wrist is the vertical plane that comprises the Flying Wedges. Neither can participate in the others plane. The Right wrist is always aligned in a horizontal motion as the hand folds back- it never cocks up or down in a vertical direction. The Left wrist only moves in a vertical motion, it cocks and uncocks, up and down and never bends or flips horizontally. Each can work in its own plane without taking the other out of its. (Where in the golf world is this ever explained but by The Golfing Machine?)

Why is this important? The Flying Wedges are like a gateway for all good GOLFING MACHINE procedures and practices. A Flat Left Wrist that loads and unloads power accumulator #2. The Left is the rhythm of accumulator #3 found at the end of the Master accumulator #4 which is being pulled by the Extensor Action of the Bent Right Wrist. The Right Wrist maintains its bend driving Pressure point #1 by accumulator #1, a driving right arm along with pressure point #3 waiting to dump the clubface onto the ball.

This is Educated Hands. It is void of any clubhead throw-away. It drives to an aiming point. It moves the pivot along. If you own the Flying Wedges, you own TGM.

Check out Ben Doyle hitting chips or Brian’s clip hitting pitch shots, Check out Yoda’s Logo (a photo I took, he said bragging :D). All show the Flying Wedges at work.

The Left in a vertical plane and the Right in a horizontal plane.
